Unicorns of Love: Sexy Edition narrowly lost the quarterfinals to Team Heretics in the League of Legends European Masters tournament with a score of 2:3. The Prime League champion is thus the last German representative to be eliminated.

"We don't think much about the LEC yet. This is what the organization is preparing in the background," Heretics coach Fayan "Gevous" Pertjis said in an interview after the game. "I have massive respect for the Unicorns and Sheepy as a coach. I'm happy with the victory.»

Last tournament for Heretics before LEC debut

After the departure of the two British-Nordic representatives, the Unicorns and Heretics remained as the last two competitors who did not come from the French league LFL. The Spanish champion, who will replace Misfits in the LEC from next season, achieved his first success in the duel. Heretics secured the lead in a slowly played game. But the Unicorns hit back with a clear victory right afterwards and equalized the series again.

With the third game, however, Heretics put the German champion under pressure, because the team got the second victory and a match point together with a pentakill of the Botlaner Jakob "Jackspectra" Gullvag Kepple. But USE showed nerve and saved himself in a fifth game, which thus had to bring the decision.

Unicorns lose decider despite good performance

This developed into a highly exciting game: Heretics initially gained advantages over the strong Botlane, but USE hit back with good team fights and at times looked like the better team. Even after almost 30 minutes, everything was still open, until two won fights brought Heretics first the reinforcement by the Baron, and later also the victory.
